Conclusion: In order to be able to implement the strategy as intended and in order to increase profitability or maintain business continuity, sharia guarantee companies need the ability of managers to formulate company strategies in the form of appropriate work programs and receive support from various parties including the Government or Regulators (Financial Services Authority) and Shareholders, especially in facing challenges in the current pandemic. For academics, the authors recommend that further research is needed on sharia guarantee companies from other aspects outside of financial performance such as the amount of the multiplier effect resulting from economic growth due to sharia guarantee activities.
